The alien graphics is pretty good but the story line is about as bad as I've ever seen. I couldn't wait to get done viewing it.....(ie.)"hurry up, end this thing".

Thought the book was a fair dialogue of his thought processes. He had no axe to grind. I don't agree with him on some of his international decisions but his decisive in his leadership which is something I do like. I worked with too many managers that were afraid to make a decision. You won't have that problem with Cheney and I wish some other politicians were as clear as he is.Thought the book was a fair dialogue of his thought processes. He had no axe to grind.

Filming is spectacular. Black and White film - shadows, props and actors that can really act with facial expressions that tell a story in itself. Very good movie

Everything I've ever read by this workingman-philosopher rings true. I think it's because he actually worked for a living, understood the hardships of hard work plus he was a first rate intellect.

Every parent should have BOTH their daughter and sons watch this movie. Some of the incidents were dangerous setups that young girls need to be aware of but I think it's important that parents teach their kids about developing healthy relationships and beware of certain situations.
The college can only do so much to set into place prevention measures but some of the college depicted in this documentary did NOTHING to support the poor girls who were 'literally' attacked. This needs to change, pronto.Every parent should have BOTH their daughter and sons watch this movie.

I saw the original when I was a boy and even then I knew it was a classic. The remake was about as awful as it gets. Michael Rennie was a great actor and played the spaceman part to a tee. Do not get the original version mixed up with "the Reeves" version. The latest version stinksI saw the original when I was a boy and even then I knew it was a classic.

Didn't even know that Karl was Billy Bob Thornton till about 10 minutes into the movie. His acting was superb and showed me his range in skills. Interesting movie and a good twist at the end

I watched 2 episodes’ and was hooked. Great character development, wonderful actors/actresses and the story lines ebb and flow just enough to keep you waiting for the next episode. Possibly one of the best series developed for TV that I can recall.I watched 2 episodes’ and was hooked.

An earlier book of Paul Hewitt's taught me the basic of physics. That got me hooked and went on to get an engineering degree. I'd think anything this man writes on physics would be very good.

Might be a bit too detailed for someone without some prior knowledge of Hanford and it's operation. I worked there for a number of years at different sites and thought the detail in this book was interesting. Seems to be well documented too.

Actually the best actor was the tough guy who told them to go back home after they ventured down the road to the 'supposed' Patterson film sight. He was very believable - the rest, pretty bad

I learned about this book from a short essay the author wrote regarding PTSD that I thought had some merit. The book, much different. As a former veteran (Vietnam) I'm skeptical of some of the data and conclusions he presents. (i.e.) why bring the Amish in as a suicide example; most of them never go to war. I found from my own struggles, that you have to deal with a lot this on your own by education /forming some sort of religious or philosophy structure that help deal with the world. I read none of this sort of insight in his book.
Furthermore, his consistent hammer on Western civilization got old quick. We have problems but we’ve never had it so good either, both materially and medically but we should take care of our solders a lot better than we do.I learned about this book from a short essay the author wrote regarding PTSD that I thought had some merit.
